Does the Qur\u2019an call the People of the Book <em>kafirs<\/em>? Does the word <em>kafir<\/em> means one who refuses\/disbelieves or is it a Quranic term used in a specific meaning? <\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The word <em>kafir<\/em> is a derivation of the verb <em>kafara<\/em>  which, in Arabic, means to cover, to reject, to be ungrateful. Now  there are various stages of rejection. The Qur&#8217;an refers to the  polytheists who lived before the Prophet sws as <em>kafir<\/em>. The  Almighty says: And when a book came to them from God, confirming the  prophecies, they have with them- while they used to pray for victory  over the rejecters [<em>k\u0101fir\u016bn<\/em>]- and, when that came to them, which they recognized, they rejected it. So, God\u2019s curse be on these rejecters. (2:89)<\/p>\n<p>Then  there are those who reject the message on the basis of some arguments.  The term is also applied to the people who reject truth, Messenger and  His claims, after all the signs and arguments are presented to them in  ultimate form. In this sense the Qur&#8217;an may also refer to them as <em>al-kafiroon<\/em>.  It tells us that they would not believe even after reality is put bare  before their eyes. It is the context in which the term is applied which  helps us understand in which sense the word is being used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-17<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6382\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Quranic definition of <em>kafir<\/em>?
